CMO PROTOCOL Dear David, Abstracts of the general protocol should be found in the archives. However, I will attempt, from memory, to summarize the basic protocol. It may be used in conjunction with Glucosamine (2 to 4 grams daily)X Chondritin (1 to 2 grams daily), or as a stand-alone protocol for both osteo and Rheumatoid arthritic insults of the articulating joints in experimental research projects. Obtain Cetyl Myristloeate (CMO) from a reliable source (in bulk or in pre-made 250 mg capsules (no need to be exact) or nearly so. The dosage employed was 6 capsules daily, divided into three separate doses (taken during the waking hours). The only proviso being that, since CMO is a tallow-based waxy fat derivative, it is subject to compromise (reduction of efficacy) when ingested within one to two hours of consuming high fat substances (e.g. butter, fat containing meats, etc.). Be sure to ingest 10 ounces of plain water, with each dosage taken. Actually, it would be advisable to greatly restrict animal fat intake during the entire 10 day protocol. The ten day protocol (requires 60 capsules) has demonstrated to be quite successful in about 90% of our volunteer cases, yielding a 75% reduction in presenting symptoms as a minimum. A majority of all cases achieved, essentially, total remission as the subjects reported a complete absence of pain upon joint articulation within 10 days of protocol conclusion. One of the most encouraging results of this protocol resulted from the arresting of further joint deterioration.
